    Alexis Arguello in a resume sense and H2H...the only thing Pac has on him right now is accomplishments (talking about titles and # of divisions he's won championships in).

    Have some respect..
    At least let the body get cold first before you try and push Pac before him.

    Arguello was a great fighter......but Pac clearly is the better fighter, and should be ranked higher....

    I dont think this is an appropriate discussion to be having at this time under these circumstances.

    I agree.

    I voted for Pac but I think they are in the same category ATG wise.

    Pac has the accomplishments
    Arguello has the resume
    Its a 50/50 toss-up H2H

    if pac fights smart it's not 50-50 fight...can can move in and out against arguello..
    but the two losses of arguello shows how much of a warrior he really he...i preferred to fight the real 140 champ rather than fighting an easier champion for his 4th division title..

    one of the fighters who really never handpicked an opponent in his entire career
